— Last Tuesday the Norwich Bulle
tin celebrated its fiftienlh anniversary
by issuing a large special illustrated
edition, giv ing its ow n history—which
has been a deservedly prosperous one
—and ttiat of its home city. It inclu
ded a fae simile edition of its first num
ber. In looking it over one learns what
a marvellous change has taken place
in everything connected with human
existence, within even the last fifty
years. One incident related of its first
issue, is that of a boy of 1 4who was one
of the Bulletin's newspaper carriers,
and was allowed to have the first loo
printed. He is now a prominent law
yer at the West, and a splendid hark
ing gentleman, now tvl, as iris portrait
picture shows him to ire, which accom
panies the letter he writes to the Bulle
tin, relating some exciting incidents in
liis experience as one of its carriers.
The Bulletin is one of Eastern Connec
ticut’s valuable Institutions, deserving
of a continuation of the esteem and
patronage that has won in ttie past
— We said last week, in an article on
the Irenelits of having a business man
t r manage the business affairs of a city,
that it was preferable to have a capa
ble knave than a fool entrusted with
complicated altairs—but it is not neces
sary to choose eittier. As an illustra
tion weeite the case of New York city.
A ten million dollar bridge has just
been completed in that city which is
found to be worthless for the purpose.
Although the Mayor and officials were
w arned of itsdefeets before its comple
tion. they ridiculed the eharge. Final
ly, when the public demanded that
well known engineers l>e engaged to
test the correctness of the design of the
bridge, they proved it dangerous to us
a- designed, a> il would collapse as did
the Quebec bridge. To secure a tide
t-i a small piece of property, ten times
its value was paid to men to examine j
the titles. All the departments are so j
mi-.manured that ll i- not possible
loam the financial condition of the
city Iiy a combination of the two
kinds of officials mentioned, that city
loses many millions every year, and
its debt is greater than that of thel'oi
led Slates government.
—The Salvation Army have settled
down to capture l’utnam. Ituringthe
coming week one of the more promi
nent officers of the Army, Major Si
monson. and his wife, will be features
of special attraction. The services of
the Army are undernoninational, and
are the same the world over—the pre
sentation of (iosi>el truths in a simple
and direct w ay to reach the class of
people who are being addressed, with
lively singing, music and prayer. They
are performing a si»eeial work in seek
ing out the lowest and neglected class
of degraded humanity to cheer them
up and start them on a better life, of
ten taking them under direct control
until they become transformed. The
Christian church has given the Salva
tion Army the credit of doing a great
and necessary Christian service for an
almost hopeless class of humanity.
They are trying to do that here. Eve
rywhere throughout the world the Sal
vation Army, w herever it has a Mis
sion, is just now preparing to furnish
a Christmas dinner to God's needy chil
dren to remind themof clod's I nsjieak
able Gift to them. This to them is
concrete religion and which they un
derstand and appreciate. This the Sal
vation soldiers are striving to do here,
and invite all to participate in this
kind service.
—The New York I ndependent of last
week was a most wonderful produc
tion, issued to signalize the sixtieth an
niversary of its its publication. It
gives ■ succinct history of the anti
slavery cause from its beginning to its
triumphal issue, with portraits of all
the principal participant* in that great
inoral warfare—both men and women
—with biographical sketches of some
of them. It makes prominent theipor
trait of Henry C. Bowen, the founder
of that great religious newspaper, with
its editor*, associate editor*, publish
ers, and mostofita contributors, in un
rivaled picture*; it also give* fac simi
les of it* two great premium pictures,
“The rSigning o{ the Emancipation
Proclamation,'' and “American au
thors,"—all who had become distin
guished up to that date. It has other
features of great merit that makes it
a number which in interest ami soo|>e
exceeds anything ever produced in the
newspaper line.j It is worth more than
the price of a year's subscription, and
-tiould be in demand especially in this
section, w here the public spirit and i*~
refaction* of Henry t.\ Bowen made
the town of Woodstock and tV indhai i

— I,a-l week Thursday afternoon a
double tenement at 66 and t>” Kail road
street, took lire from an overheated
stovepipe in the tenement occupied by
Mrs. David t). Nichols. When the lire
alarm was rung the firemen i|uickly
res|H>nded, and soon han ttie hose laid
to do effective work. Hut, alas, when
the slight force of the water was let on
through the hose two lengths of the
latter burst, and all efforts to extin
guish the fire had to be suspended un
til the damaged hose was replaced by
oilier lengths. This did not take much
time, however, though the fire bod got
some headway. The blaze In the room
was soon extinguished, but the tene
ment was flooded with water. The en
tire damage, however, did not exceed
yarn.
—An investigation should be made
of the hose belonging to the Are de
partment, as it may prove costly in
some emergency to have the hose burst
m it did at the slight fire last Thurs
day. The citizens have always had
great confidence! in our fire depart
ment, hut will hereafter feel troubled
about their safety from fires until they
are a--u redd he re can no other accident
of the kind happen again. The eiti
zens rely on the fire department being
supplied with the best of hose, and
every other article they require, other
1 w ise their reliance on the department
■ for security from unnecessary.loss from
! fires will vanish. New York city bad
a c<.»tly experience from bursting hose
that led to an investigation which re
* vealed an imposition of foisting a (mov
er kind of hose on the purchaser than
, was bargained for. Here proves the
j need of a commission of exjierieneed
business men to make the purchases of
J all articles a eily requires, m generally
! favored, just as is done by all business

Could we but know
The land that ends our dark, uncertain
travel,
Where lie those happier bills and
meadows low:
Ah! If beyond the spirit’s inmost cavil
Aught of that country could we sure
ly know,
Who would not go?
Might but we bear
The hovering angels’ high imagined
chorus,
Or Caleb, betimes, with wakeful eyes
and clear
One radiant vista of tiie realm before
With one rapt moment given to see
and hear,
Ah, who would fear?
Were we quite sure
To find the peerless friend who left u* ;
lonely,
Or there,’by some celestial stream as
pure,
To ga/e in eyes that here were lovelit
only—
This weary mortal coil, were we quite j
sure,
Who would endure?
The interment was in Woodstock j
Hill cemetery. During the serv ices al j
Its grave, conducted by the Klks, a
